RenderMonkey: An Effective Environment for Shader Prototyping and Development A new process for real-time shader prototyping and development using an improved development environment for shader content creation: the RenderMonkey IDE. Natalya Tatarchuk ATI Research, Inc. natasha (at) ati.com
Rendering Skewed Plane of Sharp Focus and Associated Depth of Field A model of a view camera to enable computer generation of images with a skewed plane of sharp focus and associated skewed depth of field region.

zDOF: A Fast, Physically Accurate Algorithm for Simulating Depth-of-Field Effects in Synthetic Images Using Z-Buffers A two-step image processing technique for accurately simulating depth-of-field effects. Step one spreads pixels out based on depth and camera parameters. Step two normalizes pixel intensities from accumulated pixel coverage. Clay Budin BlueSky Studios clay (at) blueskystudios.com
